Had a short pin pearl hyroad in 2013... that thing was automatic pocket for me.... Just getting back into it. And need a short pin badly!!

[@erwinyen2570]

hi mikey can i ask 1.25 pin to pap. what did you use a high track or medium or low track. thank you so much

[@LeeTxai]

I've seen you use a marker like pen to draw out your layouts. Do you happen to know what it's called or where to get one? Seems alot straighter then having to sharpen my pencil every 3 lines

[@BowlingScience]

They are old stock mechanical grease pencils. Unfortunately haven’t been made or sold for a decade.

[@ryanburks9142]

Mikey what the layout for the Pink you guys were using?

[@BowlingScience]

Mine was 1.25 x 6.5 x .5 PAL, his was 90 x 1.5 x 45

[@wescon3745]

Who made that second song? It sounds familiar voice wise but I cant put a name to it. Awesome bowling by the way, keep it up.

[@BowlingScience]

Thanks Wes! All the tracks from the recent vids are an artist called NEFFEX

[@clintharris8818]

Is Les going to make a guest appearance?

[@exesemas]

In what way is the Bkack widow pink, different than the overseas purple black widow? (apart from color)

[@remoevans7847]

It’s not.

[@BowlingScience]

I think the only difference is box finish. The pink is 360/800

[@exesemas]

@@BowlingScience Weren't they both brought to the same finish for the purposes of this comparison ?

[@exesemas]

@@remoevans7847 i know, but Mikey said they were, so i had to ask what he meant.

[@johnrocksvold9105]

I have heard that a short pin layout is beneficial for someone with a god amount of revs, but not so for low rev bowlers. What's your opinion. The short pin Widow rolls similar to my pin down web tour (the original).

[@BowlingScience]

If you are low rev, I would stick with the 2.25” short pin. The 1.25” will not be enough ball. On a strong solid assym, it has its place though. Will likely be more useful than say urethane for a low rev player on short patterns.

[@nordattack]

I am a very low rev/low speed Full Roller. I have a U Motion urethane with a 3/4" pin and it is very continuous across the lane. I use it for playing from the outside down and in. Very effective.

[@spottedowl8518]

Where can I find/buy that mopey shirt?

[@BowlingScience]

We have new mopey merch coming to our merch store. We just switched clothing companies. Check the link in the video description to see what we have currently in the shop!

[@spottedowl8518]

@@BowlingScience I checked yesterday and today and the shirt wasn't showing in the web store. I'll keep an eye out.

[@BowlingScience]

The mopey isn’t up again yet, but there is new Mo merch around the corner. Probably in about 10 days!

[@BowlingScience]

All proceeds will benefit the Mo Pinel scholarship at Bowl 4 Life

[@haynlavaboy]

every time i see the pink widow, i think of getting one, at this point i'll wait since lot of crybabies are still in the "check that purple hammer" or "why are you using urethane on a house shot" vibe, right now i'm just using my spare ball for my first ball and doing average control so later they can cry about my hdcp(currently 185 avg) then i'll just go back to urethane again, LOL

[@theinsaneshecklador6598]

"Average control?" Is that another way of saying sandbagging?

[@haynlavaboy]

@@theinsaneshecklador6598 to sandbag you actually have to bowl purposefully below your average, I'm just not working on improving anything, Hawaii is a place you sometimes get punished for having a high avg, most leagues have caps at 190-200, kinda ridiculous considering the tech nowadays, so i'm just using a blue dot and not worrying about carry or strike %, sandbagging would be someone like a guy in Hawaii named K.Enomoto a previous pro with 30+ pins hdcp and never bowls below 650 series in tourneys.

[@iceman5117]

@@haynlavaboy there's no difference between me only throwing plastic at league and me throwing my reactive dead straight at the head pin to keep my average down. If you're not doing your best on every given day, you're sandbagging

[@richmanfl]

Instead of just showing guys throwing, why don't you have voice annotation instead of rap music?
